The grand master of Italian Romanticism no longer opted for a predominantly political approach, but brought the individual to the fore.

What did our critic think of LES MISERABLES (2022 TOUR) at Key Bank State? This is a musical with the word 'miserable' in the title, has physical beatings and numerous onstage deaths, and lacks a typical happy ending. Is this the stuff musicals are made of? Not usually. But, there is no reason that serious subjects cannot be treated in the musical form. Les Miz proves that contention, as does 'Next to Normal' and 'Dear Evan Hanson,' and proves it well.
